Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard.. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your customer service representative for assistance. Slope Operation Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Attachments can also affect the stability of the machine. All slopes require extra caution. For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to estimate the angle of slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 0 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower with the grass bag attachment installed on that area or serious injury could result. Do:. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. 3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action. 4. Follow the manufacturer s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause serious injury. 5. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope. Do Not:. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in. 3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground. 4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. 5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. General Service. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 3. Never tamper with your mower s safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. 4. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while the mower s engine is running. 5. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
